AI-powered commit message generator using Claude Code CLI. A variant of bunnai that uses Claude instead of OpenAI.

Features

• Zero config - Uses Claude Code CLI's existing authentication
• High-quality output - Generates one focused commit message with option to regenerate
• Conventional commits - Follows the Conventional Commits specification
• Lazygit integration - One-command install for lazygit custom commands

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated

Installation

# Install globally from npm
npm install -g claude-lazygit

# Or with bun
bun install -g claude-lazygit

From source

git clone https://github.com/godlyfast/claude-lazygit.git
cd claude-lazygit
bun install
bun run build
npm link

Usage

Generate commit message

# Stage your changes first
git add .

# Generate commit message
claude-lazygit

# Options
claude-lazygit --verbose  # Enable verbose output

The tool generates one high-quality commit message. You can then:

• Accept - Use the message
• Regenerate - Generate a new message
• Cancel - Exit without committing

Install lazygit integration

# Automatically configure lazygit (interactive)
claude-lazygit install

# Skip confirmation prompt
claude-lazygit install -y

This adds a custom command to lazygit. Press Ctrl+A in the files panel to generate AI commit messages.

Manual Lazygit Configuration

If you prefer to configure manually, add to ~/.config/lazygit/config.yml:

customCommands:
  - key: "<c-a>"
    description: "Generate AI commit message"
    context: "files"
    command: "claude-lazygit"
    subprocess: true

How it Works

1. Gets the staged diff using git diff --cached
2. Sends diff to Claude Code CLI with optimized prompt for conventional commits
3. Displays the generated commit message
4. Allows accept, regenerate, or cancel
5. Outputs the accepted message to stdout
